There were so many options, but I think I found a few that would either be easy for Little Miss R to do, or would be fun to show off!

Use the poll below to tell me which craft is your favorite!

Option 1: Thankful Turkey Craft

Here you basically use your child’s hand print as the feet, a toilet paper roll for the body and a paper plate and construction paper for the body and feathers.

I really like that Little Miss R and I could do this together and we’d get to have a discussion about what she is Thankful for!

Option 2: Sugar Cookie Turkeys

These are pretty self explanatory, but you use chocolate icing to attach candy corn feathers and mini M&M’s for eyes. Then you just draw on the beak and the feet and you have a precious treat!

If you used pre-made dough, these could be done pretty easily and I think an almost three year old could help attach “feathers” and eyes.

Option 3: Thanksgiving Light

Here you pick up a glass block with a hole for a light at your local craft store, as well as the stand and the light. I’ve never heard of these, but Hobby Lobby sells them for $9.99. Then you paint your child’s hand and finish up the turkey details.

The original creator used vinyl letters that she created herself, but I don’t have a cricut {or anything else crafty and coo to cut the letters} so I’d probably just buy some at the craft store.

I love that this is something you’d want to keep for years and you can always remember how tiny their little hands were once upon a time.

All of these crafts are adorable. But I think you’re right, those oreos would be pretty time consuming! The sugar cookies however have been added to my “must make list.” The light however, would be such a good keepsake. I’m trying to find more hand/feet crafts for keepsake purposes. Good luck with the crafts
